Everyone was eating with their mouths full of oil. In fact, the meat was fat meat and pig heads. After deciding to start building a house and reclaiming land, Liu Hao contacted the owner of the pork shop yesterday and ordered a pig head from them every day. Occasionally, if there was other meat that couldn't be sold, the afternoon's meat would be kept for him, and he would ask someone to drag it back together.

The owners of the pork shops in the county’s vegetable market were all retailers before, but now they have been forced to become wholesalers by the Liu family. Basically, all the pigs are bought up by them every day.

Now I sell pork every day, and the pig offal that were the hardest to sell in the past now have a place to go. Every time I see Liu Hao and Lin Weizhong, they are smiling, and I can’t tell you how happy they are.

They opened a pork shop in the market. In the past, the most difficult thing was selling pig heads. Rich people in the city didn't like them, and poor people in the countryside couldn't afford them often. From time to time, there would be leftovers, and even if they sold them at a very low price, there would still be leftovers.

Liu Hao brought back one extra pig's head, and Liu Caixia had one less pig's head. The braised meat shop closed even earlier and was basically sold out every morning.

After finishing her work, Mrs. Tian went to help out at the Malatang shop in the afternoon. The Malatang shop is now fully staffed, the turnover rate is much faster, and business is good every day.

After everyone had finished their meal, Father Liu and the others also took out their own bowls and chopsticks, each filled a bowl and started eating. In order to show that they were treating everyone equally, they ate the same food as everyone else. Since there was no meal provided in the evening, they could just eat whatever they wanted.

Besides, we have been through this all the way and we are not pretentious people.

It's been busy in full swing.

The mountain behind was dug out after six days. Liu Hao and Liu Caiyun planned it very well. They divided the land into areas according to the location and surrounding environment, and placed some stones in the dug trenches in the middle. These small trenches were used to divide the land into individual plots. Stones were placed to prevent soil erosion. People could walk on the stones, which made it convenient and less likely to get them covered in mud.

How to describe it from a distance? Although nothing has been planted on it, it looks like a puzzle of regular and irregular pieces.

Wait for them to fill in the puzzle pieces with color.

Occasionally, a tall cypress tree remains between plots of land.

There is a bit of rural and pastoral atmosphere.

The foundation of the farm has been laid. Rows of ditches have been dug, and polished stones have been placed in the ditches to enclose rooms one by one. Then adobe bricks are piled on the stones.

Liu's father did not sell tiles. It would be too conspicuous to cover the entire roof with tiles, so he planned to exchange them for some straw in the village and then use that to cover the entire roof.

Wait until some time has passed and the family has made some money before replacing the tiles.

Father Liu looked at the two pig pens that had been built, thinking, at that time, the ground was compacted with soil, and every household did this. But the soil was always too wet and difficult to clean.

Especially pig manure and spilled pig food can easily make the dirt floor wet. If it is not cleaned up in time, the piglets will walk around and step on it. The ground will soon become sticky, which is not only bad for the health of the pigs, but also bad for the environment. The smell of pig farming is already there, and it may become even stinkier.

Father Liu thought about it for a long time but couldn't find a solution for the time being, and there was no cement at the time.

He couldn't help but think, it would be great if someone knew how to make cement. He had heard from Caixia and Xiaolu before that the time-traveling male and female protagonists in novels could do anything. He wondered if this group of people could make these things.

If it really doesn't work, it would be nice to have a fellow villager who can make this thing come and promote this technology.

Forget it, for now it's just a thought, to solve the current problem first, there are only two ways, one is to lay it with wooden boards, the other is to lay it with stone slabs. Both methods are difficult, not something they can solve now, at least not under the eyes of these people.

After dinner in the evening, Liu's father called Liu Hao and others to a meeting: "I have two problems to solve today. First, I want to ask if you can make cement, or a cement substitute. The quality is not so good, but it can be used barely. The main purpose is to solve the problem of the pig pen floor. Raising pigs is different from raising chickens. Chickens can forage in the soil and usually eat stones. The mud floor of pigs is too easy to get dirty. It would be great if we could lay cement. If that doesn't work, then there is the second problem. We will find a way to make some wooden boards or stone slabs. After the farm is built, we will quietly lay them in the pig pen."

Liu Hao, "I have an opinion on this. We bought some blue bricks in the city when we built a house. Although I don't know what was added to them, I think the quality of these blue bricks is still good. If we can order larger and thinner blue bricks from them to lay in the pigpen, the effect should be better."

Everyone else nodded, it was indeed better to burn it into larger pieces, so that it would be more flat when laid and easier to clean up later.

"Okay, Haozi, now that the land reclamation is complete, you should go out for a walk. First, find out if this blue brick can be customized and what the price is. If it is inconvenient in our county, you can also go to the surrounding counties to ask. The carriage at home is empty now anyway. You can run around more and learn about the surrounding situation. By the way, you can also go to various grain shops and seed shops to find some seeds."

"Okay, I'll go into the city tomorrow and visit Brother Wei Zhong, Xiao Long, Xiao Liang and the others."

"Okay. Let's go to the next village and ask how to catch piglets. I asked the village chief, and he said there's no one in our village who specializes in raising piglets. We can only go to the next door Yuanshui Village. If we pass by other villages, ask them if there's anyone who specializes in raising piglets."

"Uncle, if there is one, do you want to catch it now?"

"We catch them if we can, but many people want to raise them a little bigger before selling them, so that the price will be higher. We buy back those that are for sale. When the breeding farm is completed, I will fan those two pigs. People here don't know how to fan pigs, so boars don't grow big. No wonder I sometimes think the pork tastes fishy. I guess it's because I bought boar meat."

"Uncle, do you need to prepare anything else? We don't have any alcohol or anti-inflammatory medicine at this time. Do you want to get some Chinese medicine or something to boil for the pigs?"

"I'll discuss it with your Aunt Qi and Uncle Luo. Don't worry, there's still time."

"If we don't have alcohol, we can go to the winery and buy some high-proof liquor. I'll try to distill it and purify it. It will be no problem to use it for disinfection. As for whether to take medicine, we'll ask Huang Jun. I don't know how he's doing in the city."

"Yes, I forgot about Huang Jun. He became an apprentice in a medical clinic in the city right after he came back. He joined us relatively late, and if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about him."

"We should go check on him and see how he's doing. After all, he's already old enough to be an apprentice, and we don't know if he's been bullied."

"It shouldn't be that serious. He went there with a prescription. Although he didn't specialize in Chinese medicine, there is no problem with the medicinal properties of those herbs. Bring him something next time you go to the city and ask about the situation."

"Okay, I'll stop by tomorrow afternoon when I go into town."

Liu Hao goes into the city every afternoon. It seems that he needs to go earlier tomorrow, otherwise he will be too rushed.

Now he really doesn't want to travel at night.
